5 apps every driver in Qatar must have

Driving in Qatar – you either love it or you don’t. You mostly don’t, but read on to find out more about these interesting apps you must have if you drive in the country.

They may not enhance your driving experience, but hey, at least you’ll be in the know of where the nearest speed cam is located! Oh wait, that does enhance your driving experience. You’re welcome. By the way, all of these apps are free!

Pro tip – Don’t use these apps while driving!

1. Metrash2

Metrash is great to stay updated on your traffic violations, and how to settle them. They also have a host of other MOI services, so this is not just an app you should have if you are driving. It’s definitely a must for all Qatar residents.

2. Driving

Google Driving is just a variation of Google Maps but what’s cool about this app is that you can open it and directly select your workplace or home and it immediately navigates, without all the other prior steps. It’s just faster, and easier.

3. Masarak

Masarak is an intelligent traffic monitoring and navigation app. It delivers useful traffic information which enables the user to make intelligent driving decisions based on current traffic conditions. It also helps you navigate, monitor and avoid congested roads. Definitely, a must have app to stay ahead of traffic conditions in Qatar.

4. Waze

Waze is a pretty interesting app because it lets you communicate with other drivers who are in and around the same area as you. Much easier to get real time traffic information. You can also contribute real time traffic information and actively report police traps, accidents, hidden cameras and other hazards.

5. Offline Maps & Navigation

For all those prepaid users, who always run out of data, Offline Maps is a life saver. You can enjoy unlimited navigation features, offline GPS navigation, speed limit warnings, lane guidance, etc.

Can you think of any other apps drivers in Qatar must have?

Co-Pilot and Sygic are also good offline maps. I use Co-Pilot and Waze on my I-Pad and Offline Maps on my Android Phone. Though Offline Maps and Co-Pilot both have out of date maps but still serve the purpose.
